Disable write protection (help)

[Revantark]

I have a htc m8 eye . Recently installed twrp and rooted. I tried to delete some apps but after boot they come again. So googled for it and found that we should disable write protection.
Can anyone help me????

Device : htc m8 eye

True, the M8 (and presumably M8 eye) has system write protection, even with unlocked bootloader and root. For the M8, there is a kernel mod that disables system write protection. But the M8 and M8 eye use different kernels, and therefore not compatible. Not sure if the M8 eye has it's own similar kernel mod.

I think some folks may have had luck using a root browser app to enable write permissions to the system folder, then simply delete the bloat apps from the system folder. It's worth a try, anyway.

Thanks for reply.
I tried using many root browsers to delete those bloat apps but they come back again after reboot.

Are you changing the permissions in the folder from "read" to "read/write" using the root browser apps? This is usually a separate action in the root browser apps.

To delete system apps, boot to recovery (twrp), mount system in mount menu. Then go advance menu, file manager. Browse to system/app or system/priv-app delete any app that you want to delete (I advise you to rename the .apk to .bak, so you can have it back when needed)

Whatever you're going to do, make a complete nandroid back in backup menu first before you start modding.

Thanks a lot it worked.

Yes. Unfortunately I don't see any custom ROM for M8 Eye on XDA so your own rooted ROM is stock modified the best that you can have.
